She has "six kids" - I wonder who told her it was a good idea to try and raise a big family on welfare?

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by
law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for
services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be
questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or
pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or
rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or
emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims
shall be held illegal and void. US Constitution, Amendment 14 Section 4

The President is doing his best to frighten Americans and our
creditors by claiming if the GOP does not capitulate to his demands and
"cleanly" raise the debt ceiling we will default on our debt, damaging
forever the full faith and credit of the United States. Simply put, that
is a lie!

In fact we are already over the debt limit and the sky hasn't fallen. The present debt limit is $16.999 trillion. According to Treasury Direct, the Dept. of Treasury's website the US has already surpassed the debt limit by over $47 trillion.

If the October 17th deadline is passed without an increase in the debt
ceiling it simply means the government can't borrow money and has to
"live" on the tax revenue it takes in each month (about $250 billion).
Interest on the federal debt runs about $20 billion each month leaving
money left to run parts of the government.

And that's what Jugears cannot abide - living within "his" means. As a good would-be Communist elite, he feels he's entitled to live like a king while the proles adore him from afar.

Move
America Forward is proud to bring you this update! We are headed to DC
to attend the Million Vet March on this Sunday October 13th and we hope
you can join us! We are on the road now flying and driving to Washington
D.C. to bring Move America Forward staff to help organize this
important event and make it a success! Please join us as we tell President Obama to STOP playing politics with our veterans!

Join us on October 13th, 2013 as we welcome veterans and their families to join us in "unblocking" the WWII MemorialMove America Forward's Scott Raab, Outreach Director and Diana Nagy will be attending to perform and speak for MAF! Come Join us!

Our
troops are not pawns for Obama to play politics with! These memorials
were made to honor those who have served and sacrificed for our country,
but Obama has closed these memorials up to try to make Americans "FEEL THE PAIN" of the Government shutdown, even at the cost of hurting our veterans of WWII, Vietnam or other wars!

It's
a despicably childish political stunt, but unfortunately this President
has elected to go down that road. Help MAF put a stop to this by
supporting our efforts to make the Million Vet March a success and send a
message to Obama that we're not going to let him continue this!

Make a donation today to help us continue to spread the word and stay in the fight!

One
of our most requested items are these gourmet Jelly Beans used as a
diplomatic tool for our troops or just as a snack. They are
specifically flavored to appeal in the Middle East and each display the
following message in English, Arabic, and Pashto, "A
gift from the American people in hope that your country will one day
enjoy the freedom and opportunities that we have in the United States."

There
is a chronic shortage of active duty Catholic chaplains. While roughly
25% of the military is Catholic, Catholic priests make up only about 8%
of the chaplain corps. That means approximately 275,000 men and women in
uniform, and their families, are served by only 234 active-duty
priests. The temporary solution to this shortage is to provide GS and
contract priests. These men are employed by the government to ensure
that a priest is available when an active duty Catholic Chaplain is not
present. With the government shutdown, many GS and contract priests who
minister to Catholics on military bases worldwide are not permitted to
work – not even to volunteer. During the shutdown, it is illegal for
them to minister on base and they risk being arrested if they attempt to
do so.

The governor of Wisconsin, who has previously publicly stated his
intention to resist Obamacare, had his state’s Department of Natural
Resources reject federal requests
to close portions of parks in the wake of the federal government’s
shutdown. The Wisconsin DNR also reopened a boat launch that the
federal government had closed down on Tuesday.

As reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

“The park service ordered state officials to close
(portions of national parks), but state authorities rebuffed the request
because the lion’s share of the funding came from state, not federal
coffers.” The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had also closed down a
boat launch, but“in a sign of defiance, the DNR removed the
barricades at the landing, saying it had the legal authority to operate
the launch under a 1961 agreement with the federal government.”

Let’s ignore for a moment the idiocy of closing park land because of
Congress can’t decide exactly how much it should add to the ballooning
national debt. What Wisconsin has done is quite heroic. In the face of
childish federal “take my ball and go home” tactics, Wisconsin has told
the feds to go away, that they can handle the expenses of maintaining
these parks without federal “help.”

Governor Walker advised the federal government to “Look at what we
did in Wisconsin. We had a $3.6 billion deficit; we now have more than a
half-a-billion-dollar surplus.” Walker added, “I think not just in
Wisconsin but in states across the country there’s a lot of governors
and lawmakers in both parties who wish the folks in Washington in both
parties would act more like the states and less like our nation’s
capital.”

I thought the federal government shut down! Who is paying for this server?

UPDATE: I got a letter telling me my ham radio license expires in January -so I went to the FCC's renewal website. Found this:

Federal Communications Commission

We regret the disruption, but during the Federal
Government-wide shutdown, the FCC is limited to performing duties that
are immediately necessary for the safety of life or the protection of
property. FCC online systems will not be available until further notice.

If you need to contact the FCC to address an emergency situation, please call: (202) 418-1122 or email: FCCOPCenter@fcc.gov.
Telecommunications companies must continue to use the Network Outage Reporting System (NORS),
which will remain available during the shutdown, to file reports of
telecommunication service disruptions pursuant to Part 4 of the FCC's
rules. NORS allows companies to file Notifications, Initial Reports and
Final Reports. The information on service disruptions is essential to
maintain and improve the reliability and security of the
telecommunications infrastructure.
Vacancy announcements for positions that were open for receipt of
applications have been closed and will re-open when the Government is
operational.
During this time, the FCC is not accepting any deliveries of
supplies, or services that have not been identified as necessary for the
safety of life or the protection of property.
The Commission has issued a Public Notice concerning procedures for submissions that would be due to the FCC during the shutdown.

It costs nothing but power bills to let a website run on a server - but it costs real money for some programmer to write even a simple page like this and post it to that same server...

OK. The federal government is "shut down" for lack of money. 5/6 of Jugears' personal servants in the White House are on layoff.

There's no money to "run" the national parks or monuments. Especially the ones that require absolutely no human attention on a daily basis - like the veteran's memorials, that are in the open air and have no gates or admission hours, let alone attendants.

Somehow, though, Jugears has found the money to have a bunch of Park Service employees place barricades across sidewalks and in the grass to keep WWII vets away from their monument - the monument paid for with tax money, and their blood, sweat, and tears.

Somehow, the money was found to keep mounted park police on duty for the express purpose of preventing American citizens, especially veterans, from paying their respects to the fallen at them.

Several right-thinking members of Congress went out yesterday to remove the barricades Jugears personally ordered erected. Those barriers were reinstalled again today.

If the government was truly shut down, someone should have switched Jugears off for the duration.

Dear State Association Leader,
State Associations continue to serve in a critical role as the
state-level delivery system for NRA programs. The NRA depends on State
Associations to promote these programs within their states and motivate
NRA-affiliated clubs and grassroots volunteers to activate these
programs in their local communities. The NRA wants to identify the ways
we can assist State Associations to accomplish this task.
Please visit the link below to complete your state association's 2013 Annual Report no later than December 1, 2013 so that this information may be presented to the NRA Clubs & Associations Committee at the January 2014 Meeting.

Small problem is - I'm not a "State Association Leader".

Also, all the links go to emails at the domain "nramedia.org", which does not pull up a web site unless you append "www." at the front of the URL - and that pulls up a login page with the NRA logo. No idea if it's legit. Not about to click on any of those links...

Update - just got this:

We sent out an email on this list earlier today regarding state
associations. If you are not a member of the leadership of your state
association, please disregard the message; it went out to several email
addresses erroneously.

Thank you for your continuing partnership with the NRA.
